Mining Network Security
Network Security and Firewalls for Mine Sites
Secure, segmented networks for every site. We design and manage Fortinet and Cisco firewalls, separate corporate, camp, guest and supplier traffic, secure remote access and site-to-site connectivity, and keep rules, firmware and logs under control.
Every site with an internet connection is an edge that needs protecting. Mine sites often add camp guest networks, supplier connections and links to operational systems — all of which need clear separation.
A geographically distributed resources business has a wide attack surface: users in many locations, contractors joining and leaving, remote connectivity, cloud services and supplier access. Practical, consistently applied controls matter more than any single product.
Segmentation
We separate networks by function — corporate, camp, guest, CCTV, building services and supplier access — and control traffic between them. Connections towards operational technology networks are coordinated with the OT owner.
Secure remote access and branch connectivity
Sites connect to head office and the cloud over encrypted tunnels, with failover between satellite, cellular and fixed links. Remote users and suppliers connect with MFA-protected access limited to what they need.

Delivery methodology
How we deliver
Assess
We review your sites, users, connectivity and risks, and confirm scope, access and induction requirements.
Design
We select standard, supportable technology and document the solution, costs and delivery plan.
Deploy
Equipment is prepared and tested before dispatch; remote and field engineers implement around your rosters.
Support
Everything is monitored and supported 24/7, with field services coordinated when physical work is needed.
Frequently asked questions
Do you support existing firewalls?
+
Yes, we can take over management of supported existing equipment after a review.
Can you segment the camp network?
+
Yes, guest, worker and corporate networks are routinely separated with appropriate bandwidth controls.
What about connections to OT networks?
+
We coordinate boundary controls with your OT team; we do not modify control systems.
Do firewalls handle Starlink and 4G failover?
+
Yes, multi-WAN firewalls can balance and fail over between connection types.

IT and OT Security Coordination
A secure, well-managed boundary between corporate IT and operational technology. We design segmentation, control supplier and remote access, manage identities and coordinate closely with specialist OT engineers — without touching safety-critical control systems.

4G & 5G Failover
Cellular as primary or backup. We survey signal, evaluate carriers, install industrial routers with external antennas and configure single- or multi-carrier failover — monitored centrally so the switch-over happens automatically when the primary link drops.

Remote Mining Internet
Connectivity designed for sites beyond fibre. We assess location, demand and risk, then combine satellite, cellular, fixed wireless and site-to-site links with firewalls, monitoring and automatic failover to deliver internet that keeps offices, camps and operations connected.
